Homework Statement

Printed problem text: Find the field and the surface charge density in the example of a line charge q/l at (2c, 2c) bounded by a conducting surface at zero potential given in the first quadrant by xy=c^2.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I don't understand how it looks like, how to approach this problem.
I think it's maybe image charge or Laplace equation

My 'guess' is that the line is in the z-direction, the plane too:

Graph of a decreasing curve in the first quadrant with axes x and y, a point labelled q/l, and tick marks at 2c on both axes.
